If you want this done consistently, look for a CLI method to consistently force the papersize and orientation. Then add that into the commandline part for the menu option. I can't help you with that part as I don't have that particular requirement.

I was googling and there is no solution to it, it seems. I have documents that I print frequently that have mixed pages, landscape/portrait and printing it correctly from command line is not possible. -- Joseph
